The quarter-final matches in Qatar had everything from joy and excitement to tears of frustration. The most surprising of the four matches was undoubtedly between Morocco and Portugal, the latter being the favourites in the predictions, which were once again broken by the Africans who never cease to amaze the world.
The image of Cristiano Ronaldo after the final whistle, where he bursts into tears, has gone around the world, and beyond the pain of a player who has put an end to his career as a national team player, there is a sad story behind it. Reports from the Middle East indicate that the squad looked cold to Cristiano, and it is even revealed that none of his team-mates bothered to console him.
Klopp's unanswerable offer to Bellingham ahead of England v France match
Lionel Messi might have an impact on Jürgen Klopp's transfer strategy
For the 37-year-old star, Qatar was his last World Cup after five, starting the adventure at Germany 2006, where he made his debut at the age of 21, and the World Cup goal has been with him ever since. Now with his future up in the air as he does not officially have a club, Ronaldo is looking for a new fan base to comfort him in this terrible time he is going through.
Anfield could be the place for Cristiano to continue his successful career. Klopp and the fans know that the former Portugal captain has a couple more years left in his career. The relationship between CR7 and the fans is good, let's not forget the plausible gesture made a few months ago where the former United player was applauded and acknowledged for the painful moment he lived through after the loss of his baby.
Ronaldo, who until now has not given a statement to the press, wrote on his Instagram account a line in relation to what happened with Portugal in Qatar. "I fought hard for this dream. I left everything on the pitch. I never gave up the fight or the dream. I was just another person fighting for everyone's goal and I would never turn my back on my teammates and my country. Now it's time to let history tell the story and let everyone draw their own conclusions," said Ronaldo.
